Life is full of complexities, and sometimes navigating them can feel overwhelming. As a therapist, I am here to create a space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly and authentically. My approach blends evidence-based techniques like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with the deeper, reflective insights of existentialism. This allows us to address immediate challenges while uncovering the underlying values and meaning that shape your life. As a Black man, I am comfortable working with any and all people, and have experience working specifically with Black men and women, LGBTQIA+, and individuals of color.
Growth begins with curiosity and compassion. Whether you're navigating intense emotions, seeking clarity, or finding purpose, I tailor therapy to your needs. Together, we’ll untangle what feels stuck, build resilience, and empower you to live authentically.
My practice offers a judgment-free space that honors diverse identities and experiences. I see therapy as a collaborative process built on trust and respect. These values are shared both personally as well as professionally. If you're ready to take the first step or want to learn more, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on this journey.

I primarily utilize Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) as my therapeutic approach, which integrates mindfulness techniques as well as viewing problems as the problem, and not you as the problem. Additionally, I incorporate existential themes to my therapy to help think about what type of life we would like to live. My goal is to help you achieve the best version of yourself possible.
